Book Synopsis Profitable Predictability in the Cross Section of Stock Returns by : J. Douglas Hanna
Download or read book Profitable Predictability in the Cross Section of Stock Returns written by J. Douglas Hanna and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haugen and Baker (1996) report that a long-short stock selection strategy based on more than 50 measures of accounting information and past return behavior would have generated excess returns of approximately 3% per month. We find that the Haugen and Baker strategies do not provide attractive returns after transaction costs if an investor already has access to strategy portfolios based on book-to-market and momentum. We also provide an extensive analysis of transaction costs over a long sample and we report results of independent interest to researchers in market microstructure.
Book Synopsis Market Underreaction and Predictability in the Cross-Section of Japanese Stock Returns by : Pascal Nguyen
Download or read book Market Underreaction and Predictability in the Cross-Section of Japanese Stock Returns written by Pascal Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, I analyze the relationship between financial statements information and stock returns for firms listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Firm-specific information is captured by way of score indicative of the firm's cash flow generating potential. The results show that score-based portfolio strategies can produce significant abnormal returns over a 10-year sample period. The excess return of high-score portfolios does not appear to result from a higher exposure to risk factors. The predictability of cross-section returns does not derive either from price momentum. I find that large stocks offer little profits to score-based portfolio strategies. Most of the abnormal returns are concentrated on small firms. The evidence is strongly supportive of a market underreaction to the financial information released by smaller lightly researched firms.
Book Synopsis Empirical Asset Pricing by : Turan G. Bali
Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Turan G. Bali and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bali, Engle, and Murray have produced a highly accessible introduction to the techniques and evidence of modern empirical asset pricing. This book should be read and absorbed by every serious student of the field, academic and professional.” Eugene Fama, Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, University of Chicago and 2013 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences “The empirical analysis of the cross-section of stock returns is a monumental achievement of half a century of finance research. Both the established facts and the methods used to discover them have subtle complexities that can mislead casual observers and novice researchers. Bali, Engle, and Murray’s clear and careful guide to these issues provides a firm foundation for future discoveries.” John Campbell, Morton L. and Carole S. Olshan Professor of Economics, Harvard University “Bali, Engle, and Murray provide clear and accessible descriptions of many of the most important empirical techniques and results in asset pricing.” Kenneth R. French, Roth Family Distinguished Professor of Finance, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College “This exciting new book presents a thorough review of what we know about the cross-section of stock returns. Given its comprehensive nature, systematic approach, and easy-to-understand language, the book is a valuable resource for any introductory PhD class in empirical asset pricing.” Lubos Pastor, Charles P. McQuaid Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns is a comprehensive overview of the most important findings of empirical asset pricing research. The book begins with thorough expositions of the most prevalent econometric techniques with in-depth discussions of the implementation and interpretation of results illustrated through detailed examples. The second half of the book applies these techniques to demonstrate the most salient patterns observed in stock returns. The phenomena documented form the basis for a range of investment strategies as well as the foundations of contemporary empirical asset pricing research. Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns also includes: Discussions on the driving forces behind the patterns observed in the stock market An extensive set of results that serve as a reference for practitioners and academics alike Numerous references to both contemporary and foundational research articles Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns is an ideal textbook for graduate-level courses in asset pricing and portfolio management. The book is also an indispensable reference for researchers and practitioners in finance and economics. Turan G.

Book Synopsis Parallels between the Cross-Sectional Predictability of Stock and Country Returns by : Clifford S. Asness
Download or read book Parallels between the Cross-Sectional Predictability of Stock and Country Returns written by Clifford S. Asness and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book-to-market ratio (BE/ME), market equity (ME), and one- year past return (momentum) (MOM) help explain the cross- section of expected individual stock returns within the U.S. and within other countries. Examining equity markets as a whole, in contrast to individual stocks, we uncover strong parallels between the explanatory power of these variables for individual stocks and for countries. First, country versions of BE/ME, ME, and MOM help explain the cross-section of expected country returns. Second, the January seasonal in ME's explanatory power for stocks also appears for countries. Third, portfolios formed by sorting stocks and countries on these variables produce similar patterns in profitability before and after the portfolio formation date.
Book Synopsis Resurrecting the Size Effect by : Kewei Hou
Download or read book Resurrecting the Size Effect written by Kewei Hou and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies report that the size effect in the cross-section of stock returns disappeared after the early 1980s. This paper shows that its disappearance can be attributed to negative shocks to the profitability of small firms and positive shocks to big firms. After adjusting for the price impact of profitability shocks, we find a robust size effect in the cross-section of expected returns after the early 1980s. Our results highlight the importance of in-sample cash-flow shocks in understanding cross-sectional return predictability.
Book Synopsis The Predictability of Stock Returns by : Zsuzsanna Fluck
Download or read book The Predictability of Stock Returns written by Zsuzsanna Fluck and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates whether predictable patterns that previous empirical work in finance have isolated appear to be persistent and exploitable by portfolio managers. On a sample that is free from survivorship bias we construct a test wherein we simulate the purchases and sales an investor would undertake to exploit the predictable patterns, charging the appropriate transaction costs for buying and selling and using only publicly available information at the time of decisionmaking. We restrict investment to large companies only to assure that the full cost of transactions is properly accounted for. We confirmed on our sample that contrarian strategies yield sizable excess returns after adjusting for risk, as measured by beta. Using analysts' estimates of long term growth we construct a test of the Lakonishok, Shleifer and Vishny (1994) hypothesis. We reach the conclusion that, contrary to Lakonishok et al. (1994), the superior performance of contrarian strategies can not be explained by the superior performance of stocks with low estimated growth rates.
Book Synopsis On the Predictability of Stock Returns in Real Time by : Michael J. Cooper
Download or read book On the Predictability of Stock Returns in Real Time written by Michael J. Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have documented an abundance of evidence that stock returns are predictable ex post. We address in this study whether the cross section of stock returns is predictable ex ante. We ask if a real-time investor could have used book-to-market equity, firm size, and one-year lagged returns to forecast stock returns during the 1974 to 1997 period. Using a recursive out-of-sample method, we find that the market was difficult to beat in real time. Our findings suggest that the current notion of predictability in the literature is exaggerated.

Book Synopsis Common Patterns of Predictability in the Cross-Section of International Stock Returns by : Steven L. Heston
Download or read book Common Patterns of Predictability in the Cross-Section of International Stock Returns written by Steven L. Heston and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the performance of international stock strategies based on historical returns. Stocks that outperform the local market in a particular month continue to outperform the local market in future years in that same calendar month. This effect lasts for 10 years and the same pattern appears in Canada, Japan, and twelve European countries. This return pattern is independent of country, currency effects, and market capitalization. These strategies are not highly correlated across countries; this indicates they do not reflect pervasive international risk. Instead this common seasonal structure in international stocks suggests countries share similar segmented return mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Economic Links and Cross-predictability of Stock Returns by : Sebastian Müller
Download or read book Economic Links and Cross-predictability of Stock Returns written by Sebastian Müller and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research has shown that information diffuses gradually across stocks that are economically linked at the industry level. I document a similar pattern when stock portfolios are formed based on characteristics that are used in the anomaly literature (e.g., size, value, asset growth). Specifically, characteristics are useful to identify economic links, and earnings surprises contain information about future returns of other firms that share similar characteristics (i.e., “similar-style” firms). Such style-based earnings surprises can be used to predict style returns in the time-series. For the cross-section of stocks, I create a composite style-based earnings surprise measure (SESM), which generates an equal-weighted (value-weighted) long-short strategy return of 167 (101) basis points per month. I do not find that industry spillovers, the traditional post-earnings announcement drift, unconditional abnormal style returns, or risk can explain the return predictability. My findings suggest a further channel of gradual information diffusion in security markets.
Book Synopsis Empirical Asset Pricing by : Wayne Ferson
Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Wayne Ferson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the theory and methods of empirical asset pricing, integrating classical foundations with recent developments. This book offers a comprehensive advanced introduction to asset pricing, the study of models for the prices and returns of various securities. The focus is empirical, emphasizing how the models relate to the data. The book offers a uniquely integrated treatment, combining classical foundations with more recent developments in the literature and relating some of the material to applications in investment management. It covers the theory of empirical asset pricing, the main empirical methods, and a range of applied topics. The book introduces the theory of empirical asset pricing through three main paradigms: mean variance analysis, stochastic discount factors, and beta pricing models. It describes empirical methods, beginning with the generalized method of moments (GMM) and viewing other methods as special cases of GMM; offers a comprehensive review of fund performance evaluation; and presents selected applied topics, including a substantial chapter on predictability in asset markets that covers predicting the level of returns, volatility and higher moments, and predicting cross-sectional differences in returns. Other chapters cover production-based asset pricing, long-run risk models, the Campbell-Shiller approximation, the debate on covariance versus characteristics, and the relation of volatility to the cross-section of stock returns. An extensive reference section captures the current state of the field. The book is intended for use by graduate students in finance and economics; it can also serve as a reference for professionals.

Book Synopsis Intraday Patterns in the Cross-Section of Stock Returns by : Steven L. Heston
Download or read book Intraday Patterns in the Cross-Section of Stock Returns written by Steven L. Heston and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by the literature on investment flows and optimal trading, we examine intraday predictability in the cross-section of stock returns. We find a striking pattern of return continuation at half-hour intervals that are exact multiples of a trading day, and this effect lasts for at least 40 trading days. Volume, order imbalance, volatility, and bid-ask spreads exhibit similar patterns, but do not explain the return patterns. We also show that short-term return reversal is driven by temporary liquidity imbalances lasting less than an hour and bid-ask bounce. Timing trades can reduce execution costs by the equivalent of the effective spread.
Book Synopsis Essays on Predicting and Explaining the Cross Section of Stock Returns by : Xun Zhong
Download or read book Essays on Predicting and Explaining the Cross Section of Stock Returns written by Xun Zhong and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three chapters that study various aspects of stock return predictability. In the first chapter, I explore the interplay between the aggregation of information about stock returns and p-hacking. P-hacking refers to the practice of trying out various variables and model specifications until the result appears to be statistically significant, that is, the p-value of the test statistic is below a particular threshold. The standard information aggregation techniques exacerbate p-hacking by increasing the probability of the type I error. I propose an aggregation technique, which is a simple modification of 3PRF/PLS, that has an opposite property: the predictability tests applied to the combined predictor become more conservative in the presence of p-hacking. I quantify the advantages of my approach relative to the standard information aggregation techniques by using simulations. As an illustration, I apply the modified 3PRF/PLS to three sets of return predictors proposed in the literature and find that the forecasting ability of combined predictors in two cases cannot be explained by p-hacking. In the second chapter, I explore whether the stochastic discount factors (SDFs) of five characteristic-based asset pricing models can be explained by a large set of macroeconomic shocks. Characteristic-based factor models are linear models whose risk factors are returns on trading strategies based on firm characteristics. Such models are very popular in finance because of their superior ability to explain the cross-section of expected stock returns, but they are also criticized for their lack of interpretability. Each characteristic-based factor model is uniquely characterized by its SDF. To approximate the SDFs by a comprehensive set of 131 macroeconomic shocks without overfitting, I employ the elastic net regression, which is a machine learning technique. I find that the best combination of macroeconomic shocks can explain only a relatively small part of the variation in the SDFs, and the whole set of macroeconomic shocks approximates the SDFs not better than only few shocks. My findings suggest that behavioral factors and sentiment are important determinants of asset prices. The third chapter investigates whether investors efficiently aggregate analysts' earnings forecasts and whether combinations of the forecasts can predict announcement returns. The traditional consensus forecast of earnings used by academics and practitioners is the simple average of all analysts' earnings forecasts (Naive Consensus). However, this measure ignores that there exists a cross-sectional variation in analysts' forecast accuracy and persistence in such accuracy. I propose a consensus that is an accuracy-weighted average of all analysts' earnings forecasts (Smart Consensus). I find that Smart Consensus is a more accurate predictor of firms' earnings per share (EPS) than Naive Consensus. If investors weight forecasts efficiently according to the analysts' forecast accuracy, the market reaction to earnings announcements should be positively related to the difference between firms' reported earnings and Smart Consensus (Smart Surprise) and should be unrelated to the difference between firms' reported earnings and Naive Consensus (Naive Surprise). However, I find that market reaction to earnings announcements is positively related to both measures. Thus, investors do not aggregate forecasts efficiently. In addition, I find that the market reaction to Smart Surprise is stronger in stocks with higher institutional ownership. A trading strategy based on Expectation Gap, which is the difference between Smart and Naive Consensuses, generates positive risk-adjusted returns in the three-day window around earnings announcements.
